Most of them are under 25 so they would've been younger than 10 years old in the early 2000s.
If we transported back in time to 2002, Ashanti was the girl on Murder Inc. dropped 3 big urban singles (Happy, Baby, Foolish) and was on all of Ja Rule's and J-Lo's singles that year/summer. J-Lo had a BIG run in 2001 and 2002 with J.Lo/This Is Me Then albums. Alicia Keys had a big debut with Fallin, A Woman's Worth and Girlfriend. She was the new girl on the block. Amerie made a banging summer joint. Aaliyah had just passed last summer and everyone was still mourning her and playing her songs everywhere. And, Beyonce had just finished up the Goldmember movie, dropped Work It Out which was her first real solo single and was working on her debut album. Destiny's Child had dropped Survivor the year before but, this idea that Beyonce was the Queen back then is laughable
You still had Mary J. Blige (the Breakthrough album was BIG in 2006), Mariah Carey (had a major major year in 2005), Brandy (Full Moon was a good album in 2002) and Monica (So Gone was a big album in 2003) hanging around too. Bey Hive stay twisting facts up and distorting reality
